RUGBY WORLD CUP: England v Romania, Pool B

24.09.2011

Venue: Otago Stadium, Dunedin

Referee: Romain Poite (France)

Preview England will win this game. For all Romania’s courage against Scotland, a well organised team like Argentina eventually prevailed. Much the same will happen today except more. Teams like Argentina and England can up another gear from their last performance. For the minor teams they are already at top gear. This is why in the second and now third games of pool rounds the fancied teams (South Africa 87 against Namibia, Australia 76 against USA) are beginning to pull away from such opponents.

Romania has made many changes from the team that played Argentina. They put basically the same team on the paddock for the first two games and now must rest key players. This will play into England’s hands and they should win comfortably.
